Netflix's top spot is currently held by the final season of Outer Banks, which has been dominating the charts since its return. But if you're looking for something beyond the Pogues' treasure hunts, there are plenty of other gems worth your time. Here are three shows that deserve a spot on your watchlist this week.
Yellowjackets: A Thriller That Keeps You Guessing
If you haven't yet dived into Yellowjackets, now is the perfect time. The series, which has already earned critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase, follows a high school girls' soccer team whose plane crashes in the remote Canadian wilderness. What unfolds is a gripping tale of survival, secrets, and the dark side of human nature, told across two timelines.
The show's blend of psychological drama and mystery has earned it a 92% Rotten Tomatoes score and a 7.7 IMDb rating. With Season 4 set to premiere on Paramount+ in November, there's no better moment to catch up on all the twists and turns. The performances are stellar, and the story will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
Revival: A Supernatural Mystery That Will Hook You
Starting Monday, August 24, Netflix adds Revival to its lineup. This SyFy series, which originally aired last summer, is a hidden gem that deserves a wider audience. Set in rural Wisconsin, the show begins with a bizarre event: the dead suddenly return to life, not as zombies, but as their former selves, seemingly unchanged.
The mystery unfolds through the eyes of Officer Dana Cypress, played by Melanie Scrofano, who must piece together what's happening. With a solid cast including Romy Weltman and David James Elliott, Revival offers a fresh take on the supernatural genre. It's smart, eerie, and perfect for a week-long binge.
The Four Seasons: A Comedy About Friendship and Change
If you're in the mood for something lighter, The Four Seasons is a delightful comedy that explores the complexities of long-term friendships. The show stars Steve Carell as Nick, who, after a divorce, brings his much younger girlfriend along on a trip with his lifelong friends, shaking up the group's dynamics.
The ensemble cast is a who's who of comedy talent, including Tina Fey, Will Forte, and Colman Domingo. Their chemistry is palpable, capturing the awkwardness, humor, and heart of relationships that have stood the test of time. With an 82% Rotten Tomatoes score, this series is a feel-good pick that will leave you smiling.
